Migrant Services

People who have just recently moved to Australia may find it difficult to adjust to the Australian culture and lifestyle.

Migrants may experience:

• Homesickness
• Getting lost or disorientated
• Difficulties with English
• Trouble finding and navigating services like Centrelink or Medicare
• Difficulty making new friends
• Employment related issues

Migrants can face a range of issues but there are many things that can make the transition easier such as:

• Joining a sport
• Attending groups or classes for your interests
• Going to TAFE either to practice English or learn something new
• Volunteering at a charity
• Keeping in contact with family and friends
• Getting involved with other people new to the area
